In this episode of "Arthropod Adventures," I will be introducing you to the pill bug, a terrestrial crustacean that is often mistaken for an insect. Let me clarify the scientific name of the pill bug and explain the difference between bugs and insects. I will describe the appearance of the pill bug, its behavior as a nocturnal creature, and its unique adaptations, such as its ability to absorb and release excess moisture. Additionally, I will discuss the practice of coprophagy, where pill bugs eat their own for survival. Please feel free to appreciate these fascinating creatures and reach out to me with any questions or feedback you may have.
